Nautical Christmas Tree ...

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year, I was truly flattered to have been hired by local business owners, to decorate the Christmas tree in their shop, <em>Marine Service Center </em>(where they sell all things fast and fun on the water), as well as to spread Christmas around their home.  In years past, the Christmas tree at their store had been a nautical themed tree in blue, red, white and gold.  With the permission of the owners, last year, I traded out the gold accents for silvers ones ... added nautical rope and burlap, along with snowflakes and branches at the top.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">This year, I was happy when the owners asked me to come back and "play" again.  They didn't want to change anything from what I had done last year, so, I was happy to recreate the nautical tree again ... </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a few pics:</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
